Docking Station with Video User’s Manual
3. Using the Docking Station with Video
USB 2.0 Ports
The four USB ports on the docking station function just like
the ports on a USB hub. Simply connect any USB device to the
docking station’s USB ports when required.
• All the four USB ports provide power when the computer is
either off, suspended or hibernated. This means you can use
the USB port for power charging purpose.
• The USB port supports hot-plug feature. You may plug and
unplug an USB device from the docking station at any time
when required.
• Some USB devices, e.g., printers and optical drives, require
higher power to operate. To use these devices, the power
adapter shipped with the device should be plugged into the
device and the mains.
Audio Ports
Prior to using the speaker/microphone connected to the docking
station, you have to correctly configure your application to use
USB (Multimedia) Audio Device, i.e., the audio components of the
docking station.
When the docking station is connected to your computer,
the audio devices named USB (Multimedia) Audio Device are
automatically installed and
may override Windows default audio
settings. The most obvious effect is that your original music
playback will be re-directed to the speaker connected to the
docking station. However, it’s possible that users may want to
use original sound card for music playback and use the docking
station’s audio ports for chatting via instant messaging software
(such as MSN messenger, Yahoo messenger or Skype). In such
cases users have to manually configure required audio device for
each application.
